socialmedia.socialflow....socialflow_twitter), Bundeswehra has major problems with the creation of the 45th Panzer Brigade, [which is to be stationed in Lithuania](https://defence24.pl/defence-based policy/gen-grinkewich-niem-de-z-brigada-litwa-bedzie-located-to-ship) to strengthen the defence of this country. It is about forming the 203rd Tank Battalion and the 122nd Armored Grenadiers Battalion. Currently, the completion of these units is 47% and 28% respectively. Even worse is this indicator in sections of artillery, reconnaissance or logistics – there it reaches about 10%. Let us remind you that the 203rd Tank Battalion and the 122nd Armored Grenadiers Battalion were to be full completed in terms of individual position in 2026, while the readiness to spread to Lithuania was to be achieved in 2027.
